I was born into a Catholic church, and over the years I have seen so many things I don't like about Catholics e.g the worshiping and bowing down to images, which the Bible clearly kicks against... So many other things they do that I begin to doubt if Catholic is a real church...

They will tell us how Catholic was the true and only church founded and approved by Lord Jesus Christ by himself and every other church broke out from Catholic church...

Talking about switching... I have also seen how other churches now rival themselves as being better than the other... You see deeper life members bragging they worship God more than living faith or redeemed... So many competition here and there which I don't like...

Its all these things that has just made me stay put in Catholic and not really because I like their style but going to another church won't even change anything...

Its not about the church u go to, its about the individual person way of live, I can learn the teachings of any church if I feel they are saying the right things and not brag of how this church is better than that one

The truth be say church matter dey tire me and I see all the church out there as business centre

You had better changed your church because from what you just typed, your u have been going to church because others are going. You know nothing about Catholic church accept what your friends who are not Catholics have told your. How can a grwont up who was born into a Catholic church be talking about worshiping of images. I was born into Catholic church. Some even go as far as says Catholics don't read the Bible and some peot like you will just accept it because you go to a church you know nothing about. You better stop going to church cos all your days of being a Catholic you leaned nothing.

I was born a Catholic. I remember asking a Reverend Father what “bowing down to graven images as a sin” meant. He was biting his words cos he suspected the Jesus statue would be questioned.

Due to my inquisition, I had to dig deeper. Why venerate Mary? What is really her role? What's the role of the rosaries using the Bible? Can Jesus be God and still pray to God? What are the use of those Holy Sacrament and Hail Mary incantations? Where is Father Christmas in the Bible? Is Mary the mother of God? Very many questions...

I gave up.

I am now one of the JW.

Lmao...even you JW have your own funny beliefs in your watch tower papers that makes people wonder...worship God how you feel is good for you but using style to cast catholic church is one of you guys traits

federal9:
And who told you they were bowing down to images?

You are joining the multitudes to castigate the Catholic Church.


You are not a Catholic. Stop deceiving yourself. Paying respect by bowing down is different from worship.

Keep quoting yourself with different moniker to paint the catholic church bad.

Don't mind him/her. How can someone be born into Catholic family and claim he has been going to church but knows nothing about the church?

It's very near to my house

And they don't make noise, it's Catholic, I am not Catholic I don't take communion
I just go there and say amen

Touch my head a couple of times, left and right shoulder, sign of the cross

I don't even know the name of the priest

Lolsss..
I Like this Guy..
No time at all..

I was raised a catholic. I wanted to change church badly. I've been to all the churches and even went to mosque once on a Friday, voluntarily. I would have been a Muslim if I wanted but I can't denounce Jesus as my lord and saviour. Other churches have a lot of comma, eg. the standing and dancing for over 1 freaking hour and praying over the top of your voice is irritating. I prefer the sober life of Catholicism. JUST KNEEL for a couple of seconds, stand for a couple of minutes and viola. No stress. And when the priest says pray for your private intentions, you will never hear nor see anyone raise their voice so high in the name of prayer. Other Christian denominations pray to God like God is deaf. Smh. I still wonder why.

No true Catholic will comfortably attend another church for more than a month. Their noise sef confuse you. I've not been to another church for upto 3times in my life. I would rather seat at home then go where I will even lose the little faith I have in God.

You bleeped up, fried pan to � fire

I was born a Catholic and I'll die a Catholic... U see sometimes pple don't value what they've until its lost... I can beat my chest and say this... Catholic is one of the most organized denominations in the world... Catholic has doctrines were all the Catholic practices emanated... Likewise other denominations both even Muslims... Unless u have not done research about some of this things that are confusing to u, u cannot be satisfied... At a time I was confused about Catholic practices, then I went and research about all this things, the purgatory, the veneration to saints, honoring Mary and the rest. I then realized we're all brainwashed to believed things as kids but when in adult u can as well make ur findings... Catholic for me is the only church I find peace of mind with... I was opportuned to have enough Catholic books because my senior brother is a Catholic priest, and he happened to have all this encyclopedia of Catholic doctrines and practices... If u don't want to be alienated from Catholic faithfuls. Engage yourself fully in all Catholic church activities. Read books and read wide. Although I've attended some other churches when I was in school and come in terms with their doctrines, but none come close to Catholic in authentication, reliable, rational and... Otherwise

BECAUSE THE GIRLS IN MY CHURCH FVCK VERY WELL.

chatinent:
Yeah, I am burning like Shedrach.

Dem dey tell u truth u dey form sey u Sabi wetin u dey talk,

U better wake up 4 midnight and pray may God help u, cus na one chance u dey as u dey right now.

The more u get deeper into JW u go know sey ogboni better pass JW with peace of mind

MaxInDHouse:
I was a Muslim too before my conversion to JWs!
Truly JEHOVAH is rocking the nations and bringing out the desirable things:

‘And I will shake all the nations, and the precious things of all the nations will come in; and I will fill this house with glory,’ says [b]Jehovah of armies. Haggai 2:7[/b]

I don't know who should welcome the other into the one and only big and happy family of peace loving organization!

Who is Jehovah? And what qualify you to be his witness?

There is NO STRONG member of Blue Army, Legion of Mary, Block Rosary,etc that later leaves d Church...
Nice one, Bro!

I was born and raised a Methodist but was led by GOD to Dunamis international Gospel Centre where I found spiritual fulfilment

Omicron007:
Considering the vast number of Christian denominations in Nigeria today, why did you choose your current church?

Some people are attending a particular church just because they were born into the church.

They are bible based in doctrine

gospel faith mission international is too stable on the true word of God....hv been attending the church for more than 25 years now

The church I attend right now is not the church I was born into, but I changed because currently I'm enjoying the teaching of the word of God in my new church.

chatinent:
Can you school me, Mr Truth?

Sure bro am gonna start with why venerate Mary

We love her and have the utmost respect for the mother of our Lord Jesus Christ. We do not worship her as we worship God. She is a human being, but one most blessed because she has the honor of being Jesus’ own mother! Mary is part of God’s wonderful plan. She has been the channel blessed by Grace through which God’s own Son became flesh and dwelt with us.

I am glad to tell you that the rosary is biblical
First, the Rosary is not a prayer to Mary. It is a meditation on the life of Christ. Each mystery of the rosary is focused on the very Biblical events of the Gospels. To say that the Rosary is not biblical is not accurate at all.

When you look at the components of the Rosary individually you’ll see 1 that every part of the Rosary is biblical in nature and 2 each part has deep meaning

First, the Rosary is not a prayer to Mary. It is a meditation on the life of Christ. Each mystery of the rosary is focused on the very Biblical events of the Gospels. To say that the Rosary is not biblical is not accurate at all

The Rosary is composed of the following prayers – Ave Maria (Hail Mary), Pater Noster (the Lord’s Prayer, given to us by Christ Himself), Gloria Patri (Glory Be), Apostles Creed, the various mysteries of faith, and a concluding Salve Regina.

When Catholics pray the Hail, Mary prayer they are not praying to Mary but are asking for her prayers of intercession for us, in the same manner that you may ask friends, family, or your clergy to pray for you. Only her intercessory prayers are more powerful because she is the Mother of our Lord and sits at His side in Heaven. The Hail Mary prayer is taken straight out of the Bible, off the lips of the Archangel Gabriel, the messenger of the Lord Luke 1:28 and from Elizabeth’s words of praise when the child in her womb recognized Jesus as the Messiah Luke 1:42

The doxology Gloria Patri, or Glory Be, is nothing more than a hymn of praise to the Holy Trinity.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen”

The Mysteries of the Rosary are meditated on while praying each decade (ten Hail Mary beads), with the purposes of drawing the person praying deeper into reflecting on Christ’s’ joys, sacrifices, sufferings, and the glorious miracles of His life.

I don't have permanent church, I attend any church my spirit choose at any given point in time. But I never attend church that seems their service hours is too long and trying to persuade me to come another time. My believe is that God is everywhere, he is not deaf to hear the cry of our prayers.

When you look at the components of the Rosary individually you’ll see 1 that every part of the Rosary is biblical in nature and 2 each part has deep meaning contrary to the claim of “mindless pagan babbling” or “vain repetition” that it’s often described as. I invite you to readFr. Longenecker’s comments on vain repetition for a deeper understanding of Matthew 6:7, and also read Elizabeth Scalia’s thoughts on the question, here.

I know I have a choice but my mentality towards church in general has been affected, with the way things are, hence the reason why I said I don't have a choice, cos going to another church won't change my mentality now...

As I dey like this ehn, I no get religion strength

We all know what's good from bad!
